What the hell is Ruto doing with remodelling Statehouse & lodges at that inflated amount for such a poor country? Is it a priority or necessary?
President Donald Trump's administration has spent $1.75 million on decorating the White House and associated offices, NBC reports.
The sum, which is slightly higher than the approximately $1.5 million Barack Obama had spent on redecorating after a similar period of time, "includes $17,000 for custom rugs, $7,000 for 'furniture pedestals,' and $5,000 for wallpaper," according to the network.
Government records cited by NBC also include the $12,800 purchase of a custom conference table made by a company that produced one for Richard Nixon in 1969; "President Nixon paid for the table himself," the company's website notes. Indeed, Obama also personally paid for some of the renovations during his tenure.
Trump, meanwhile, told Time that he paid for a crystal chandelier in the dining room out of his own pocket. A White House spokesperson told NBC they were looking into whether he had paid for any other parts of the renovation.
